This is how Toshiba get revenge on Universal for not going with HD DVD?

I didn't mean down at the sound stages there, I meant Universal in general.

Ah never mind, this conversation's just going to get confusing. Heh.

Wouldn't surprise me if Universal did it for the insurance.

I'd love to know what film was filming with fire when it all got out of control.

Hope it wasnt John Landis agian.

Talk about a good large insurance job.
Wonder how much the insurance companies will pay them

biotech · 06-02-2008, 12:39 PM

A fistfull of dollars?

Or maybe a few dollars more.

The entire fire was just too large for it not to be questionable if it was arson or not. Too fast & too big.

Lots of wood, covered in lots of paint and varnish, also lots of propane tanks (and propane accessories), its not really surprising it would burn fast, frankly its surprising it didnt burn more.

Film sets are extreamly flamible... A small disguarded match could very easly very quickly turn into a fire like the one we seen... Sets are normaly made of lightwaight wood... Thin enough to burn quickly. And the edition of lots of paint and other stuff it really isnt any suprise such a massive fire happend.

	Sometimes the worst opponent is the one closest, yet ignorant of the truth.
